Start-Up Legal Forms Library

I would thus imagine that good logical thinking ability and a strong level of attention to detail are the main common factors shared between good developers and good lawyers (at least good business lawyers).

Out of curiosity, do you think there are a lot of parallels between the two fields or just those?

To put the same thing another way, do you think that someone who was a good developer could become a good lawyer and vice versa?

I have seen many serial entrepreneurs (who originally were developers) become very adept at the legal aspects of dealmaking. From this, I believe that cross-overs would not be too hard, but this assumes that one is drawn to things that lawyers do.

At the advanced level, the most important trait by far is good judgment that assures strategic thinking. If a lawyer lacks this, your deal will be in trouble. I assume your development project would also be in trouble as well without this trait.
